those asking for a KOTOR 3 I dunno if you're aware but it exists already.

SW:TOR = KOTOR 3

I have been attempting to get Arcanum to work under windows 7 and failing horribly.

I already tried those suggestions, they didn't work.

I'd like to see the original Saint's Row remade, to be released on PC (as well as the modern consoles probably) with a bit of modern graphics, gameplay, and and customization added in.

Are you using the GOG version?

Arcanum is also my pick for a game most deserving of a remake. I would love to see it re done Fallout 3 style with a really in depth character creator. I just loved the massive list of traits, some neat some nutty.

My computer when I was younger could never handle running X-WvsT. With how much of a big deal you guys are making it, I'd love to see a remake, if only so I can play it and love it as much as all of you!! Don't shoot me, but I'd like it if they also made an Xbox version of it. *ducks and runs for cover*

Well that was my Idea to buy the GOG version because that is the one I have and it works on my windows 7 laptop. If that isn't working for you, I don't know a good solution.

Hmm, I think a game that could use an update would be Gabriel Knight...oh, wait, they're already doing that.

Arcanum updated would be amazing, although I'm not so sure about making it first person view. Maybe more like the perspective used in SW: KotoR?

I think a new version of The Bard's Tale would be a cool idea, done as an isometric party-based RPG (a la Baldur's Gate).

And a new and faithful update of System Shock 2 would probably make me need a new pair of underwear.

Master of Magic.

I've played Fallen Enchantress, which critics and magazines called its spiritual sucessor, and while I enjoyed it, it didn't even came close to the real thing.

I'm going to say it...

Spore. I really enjoyed the game, but the stages just felt less and less put together as the game progressed, A re-make that improved customization (No forced symmetry) and added more to each stage would be great.

And....

Brink. I honestly think Brink was an under-appreciated fps, my friends and I would play it all the flipping time, if the bots were better programmed and the game was just a little more forgiving, it would have been so much better.

Wait wait wait...

Oddworld series
Grim Fandango
The Neverhood
Skullmonkeys
MediEvil series

Anything else along the same surrealist/absurdist/nightmarish lines? It also kinda makes you scratch your head and wonder how the gaming industry has evolved, those were all 'mainstream' games back in the day, nowadays, I dont think theyd even be published.

Oh, oh, and Steel Battalion! Im talking about a real remake/sequel that uses the ridiculous $150 controller setup and everything!

Would also be nice to see a remake of R.A.D (Robot Alchemic Drive).

Descent: Freespace.

I DEMAND IT!

Second Chromehounds (which is getting a spiritual successor, though I forget the name). That game had a lot of great ideas and none of the money to see them to furition.

City of Heroes, full stop.

NCsoft needs to let the entire player base kick their executives in the balls one at a time, issue a formal apology, and recompense everyone for their dicking over of a great game that was in no financial troubles because they felt like it.

I second this opinion, best MMO ever. I'd also like to see something chaos gate-ish remade for PC not a phone. I'm a sucker for turn based strategy. I'd also like dungeon keeper back, hopefully battle for the underworld will be in beta soon ( I don't play alpha release games)

Two other successor projects, Vigilance, and Heroes and Villains, are both making excellent progress.

Vigilance I believe has a pre-alpha up and running.

I'm hoping they get off the ground soon because playing Champions Online is like downgrading from the finest cocaine to street crack.

Cyberpunk 2077 is being worked on...but nobody knows anything more than that.

Yeah, I really liked Champions at launch - the character/power designer was awesome, and a few of the zones were really good; but it just never kept me interested long term. I need the Villain/Hero choice to be there.

I had some really awesome characters -

GARD1AN - A big punchy robot sent forward in time from 1982 to avenge the death of it's creator. Gellar Aerospace Research and Defense series1ANDroid. He often spoke in outdated slang programmed into him to humanize him.

Jericho Jones - the Disassociated Man, a cowboy and gunslinger who won a hand of cards against Lady Luck herself, who cursed him to drift randomly through space and time.

Chocolate Thunder - a group of UC Berkeley students accidentally ended up with a batch of magically tainted LSD during a blaxploitation kung fu movie marathon in 1976 - and their collective unconscious spawned an Avatar of the blaxploitation genre.

Mechwarrior. Yes I'm well aware of MWO, but I'd like a chance to just shoot up some bots in modern day graphics.

Mech commander. If there is a reasonable clone someone please tell me I had so much fun running my mechs in circles around other mechs whilst shooting PPC (?) at them. Getting the enemy mechs to use was always such a triumph. I dunno if I played the game wrong but I always loaded as many PPC (?) on my mechs as possible coupled with as many lasers as possible, as I hated running out of ammo.

Arcanum should get a remake, but I want it the same perspective with turn based combat. I loved my hasted, summoning caster with a sword of air. Have haste up all the time, get into combat cast summon ogre (?) then bash the bejesus out of them as many times as I could with my sword. I never finished the game though, I'll have to go find my disk.

There's an option in the menu, Unlimited Ammo (checkbox). That's how I played.

On a side note. I actually only picked that up last year. I remember I had Creep in a Double Heavy AC Atlas. Blasted a Cyclops with a double head shot. The thing was in perfect condition. So I had a free 90 ton mech to help destroy the huge tanks

Remake Star Wars Galaxies


I would be happy then.

Champions of Norrath/Champions: Return to Arms, with current gen graphics and online play would really just be the best. I don't think my fiancee and I would ever leave the house if we could play that online with buddies.

Jet Force Gemini, either sequel or complete overhaul of the original. I really don't know why it hasn't happened yet.

You know what? As long as I'm wishing for a redone Champions... Let's go ahead and say they should probably re-do Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance with more characters/online play as well.

In case you can't tell, I really miss the hack n' slash RPG, I just haven't found anything quite up to the quality of Champions/Dark Alliance. Sacred 2 was a good try, but it's just not quite there.

Morrowind. Final Fantasy 7. Fallout.

I'm all up for a re-make of the .Hack rpg's, they were insanely awesome!
Also Jade Empire, Dungeon keeper and a completely pimped out Theme Hospital.

My two votes are:

Warlod's Battlecry. New gfx engine, more skill trees, more factions. would be amazing. My friends and I sank hundreds of hours into that game and we were so unbelievably disappointed when they came out with warlord's battlecry 3. It wasnt even related to the previous game and the GFX actually got worse. I do not think it was related to the original at all.

Second: Ogre Battle 64, rebuilt with new story going outside of the original nation and into the rest of Logres. GFX need to be alot better, remake it for PC, add even more units and special/secret unlockable units and items. Make squads larger too. I would pay 60$ for that if they did it right.
